For me, that's one of the best validations as an artist. To have a stranger come up to you and say that something you've created and put out there in the world has had some sort of impact on other people's lives.
My dad was a businessman, and he would say, 'Work for free at the best company. Don't get paid a lot of money to work with the worst people.' And that's exactly how I see my career.
I have this to say to the people: go the polls and vote for the candidate of your choice... This is your responsibility; do not neglect it.
I say to those people who are desperately trying to get healthy, in those moments where you feel like you can't go any further, you can.
Every generation always thinks it was better before, and I think people have been saying this for probably thousands of years.
I would say 90 percent of my mail and phone calls are from people who want some kind of help or succor or commitment from me to do something.
So I won't say I'm lucky. I'm fortunate enough to find or attract very talented people. For some reason I found them, and they found me.
This, to me, is the ultimately heroic trait of ordinary people; they say no to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance.
There were the people that believed in me when I was walking around Spanish Harlem, saying that I was going to be a Hollywood actress. They were like, 'Yeah, you could do it!'
It's hard to know what to say about somebody like that, except there are people who look for trouble. And trouble is very easy to find when you go looking for it.
But I decline to say who has ever listened to them, who has written them, or other people who have sung them.
People say that if you're still angry at 52, you're not an angry young man, just a grumpy old git.
I always say Los Angeles is the place where British people come to exceed their worth. It's quite true of everything: The British accent does open doors.
Play fair. Don't hit people. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
I think there are people watching me, and if ever I manage to save £1,000 there's someone saying, 'Oh, we'll invent a tax to take that off him.'
I've always had people come up to me to say that they admire the way I play, and then they tell me they're not United fans. That's always been nice.
Acting isn't that hard, really. I mean, I think that people make a big deal about it, but you just kind of try to say your lines naturally.
I like clothes and fashion. It's a hobby for me and I really enjoy being part of it, so it's nice when people say: 'He can dress quite well.'
Style is knowing who you really are. what you say and what you do, and not giving a shit about whatever people think
People tend to say, 'You're not as fat or as ugly as I expected.' I never know how to reply. It's a bit of a slap, but they don't mean it, I'm sure.
I can be a very sarcastic person, and sometimes people take every word I say literally.
